Olympic athlete and gold medallist Denise Lewis OBE is to partner with high street giant Next to release the first ever Denise Lewis Edit for Spring 2021 – a functional and stylish range of activewear essentials engineered for ‘the gym life’ featuring performance clothing essentials including leggings, sports bras and breathable tops – all available in sizes 6 to 22 or XS to XXL – as well as athleisure staples such as super soft sweaters and heavier weight hoodies, perfect for both working out and working from home.
A range for the everyday, active woman on the go…
Tested and approved by Lewis herself, the debut Denise Lewis Edit features the Olympian’s favourite pieces from the Next Active range, with all items suitable for a host of different workouts – from high intensity training to low impact stretching and yoga. Merging functional with flattering, the versatile line boast all the important practical details required of an activewear collection – lightweight, breathable fabrics in plain and printed designs keep the wearer cool, while inner waistbands and side pockets ensure her phone or keys remain secure.
“I am seriously impressed with Next’s range of activewear – I’ve been road-testing these pieces for months now. From squat-proof leggings (which don’t fall down!) to sports bras fit for various workout types – there’s something for every shape and size.” Denise says of the activewear edit. “What I love about activewear is that it’s easy – it’s perfect to throw on whether you’re coming from the gym and heading out to go shopping or picking up the kids, it’s just easy. The attention to detail is fabulous, a little bit edgy – I like!”
As a special edition to the style edit, the team at Next have developed technical trainers – suitable for running and high impact activities, these sports shoes are lightweight yet supportive, available in four colours and with a moulded heel to prevent inward or outward pronation.
